Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks by Lauren Myracle

This book is about Carly (the main character) and how she deals with problems such as her LITTLE sister developing(physically) WAY ahead of her. Making all the guys at their school drool all over her and bug Carly about when they could catch a date... With Anna.
It's not that Carly would rather have the attention,t's just that she'd rather the guys like Anna because how she is... not for her outer appearance. Carly's the older sister who no one would want to be near, because she wants to be the kind of person who people notice...Visually, and in her case, neon baggy shirts and a broom skirt--- not very attractive. What Carly doesn't realize about Anna, is that she looks up to her, wishes that she was as skinny as her, as smart as her, as beautiful as her, and lastly, her friends, I know pathetic, but she doesn't have any real friends... just her wannabes.
  Anna could easily form a clique with the girls who trail around  her, but that wouldn't be the same as Carly's LOL best friends, and so whenever she tries to hang out with them, Carly starts getting defensive and nothing works out the way she expected.  Anna wants to be like Carly, but not even as youremybestfriend but as an exact clone of her, which Carly does not understand, knowing about all the fame she gets at school.
   At the end Anna does something so bad that Carly finally gets how Anna feels and they become the bffs forever.

Blog Post: Ruthless by Sara Shepard

In this book, the main characters are still being stalked--- even though they "found" out who the person was in the last book, it doesn't  seem like it's the same person now...
The girls have one person in mind, but it just can't be her, she'd way too nice, and she can't do such things like threaten them with death, so... Who is it?? They all consider asking the police again, but there's not much they could do, especially since they're all guilty for a murder case that's happened ten years ago. 
The book reminds me of times when you have the strongest feeling you've gotten rid of something from your life, yet it's not completely gone. Though in this book it's the stalker that they think is the subject which they've been getting rid of for the past few years. 
  Mostly it's a test grade, or an interview to a really good high school that you REALLY want to get into, but in this book, it's the stalker, while the girls think they've gotten rid of the same thing ten years ago, it's still the same thing that keeps haunting them.
